      Executive Function Deficits Among Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury.

AB  - IMPORTANCE: Executive function (EF) deficits are common after traumatic brain 
      injury (TBI). During rehabilitation, it is important to identify EF deficits and 
      understand their impact on daily function. The internet-based Bill-Paying Task, 
      modified from the Executive Function Performance Test, has not yet been validated 
      for use with people with TBI. OBJECTIVE: To examine the known-groups, convergent, 
      and ecological validity of the internet-based Bill-Paying Task for assessing EF 
      deficits after TBI. DESIGN: Cross-sectional study with two consecutive parts 
      based on the study's objectives. SETTING: Inpatient rehabilitation and community. 
      PARTICIPANTS: Part 1 included 42 adults with TBI and 47 healthy adults; Part 2 
      included 28 of the 42 adults with TBI. MEASURES: Assessments included the 
      Internet-based Bill-Paying Task, WebNeuro neurocognitive computerized battery, 
      Semantic Verbal Fluency test, Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome 
      (BADS), Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX), and cognitive items of the FIM(R) and the 
      Functional Assessment Measure (cognitive FIM+FAM). RESULTS: For Part 1, 
      participants with TBI required significantly more cues and longer completion time 
      to perform the internet-based Bill-Paying Task. For Part 2, moderate significant 
      correlations were found between the internet-based Bill-Paying Task total score 
      and the WebNeuro, Semantic Verbal Fluency test, BADS, DEX, and cognitive FIM+FAM. 
      CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: This study supports the known-groups, convergent, and 
      ecological validity of the internet-based Bill-Paying Task for assessing EF 
      deficits among adults with preserved basic cognitive abilities after TBI. 
      Therefore, it can be used to assist with rehabilitation treatment planning after 
      TBI. What This Article Adds: The internet-based Bill-Paying Task, an online 
      payment task relevant to today's technological world, is valid to assess higher 
      cognitive abilities of people after a traumatic brain injury. This assessment may 
      contribute to a better understanding of patients' cognitive profiles and their 
      potential impact on daily performance.
